Chapter 741 The Final Stop, Sumeru
Speaking of which, Aerani earned her money by helping with agricultural fertilizer research on Haizhi Island, and she gave it all to Nazan. It's clear that she's really had a mental breakdown.
It's fair to say that the scholars of Sumeru are constantly traveling the world to write their papers, and they have to trouble adventurers whenever they encounter any trouble. It seems that about 80% of the adventurers and treasure-hunting groups in Teyvat rely on them for their income.
Originally, everyone wanted to reminisce about travelers, but they suddenly remembered Elani. It seems that only a tragic core can make people feel the comedic effect.
Regardless, readers are quite moved, realizing how far we've come in following the traveler... Elani too.
It was a great experience to travel through all the countries again, and I hope there will be similar stories in the future to help everyone remember this trip.
Who knows, maybe in the future I'll be able to travel around Teyvat on Mawika's motorcycle, that would feel like a real road movie.
This journey has now reached its final stop, Xumi. The group arrived at Kawan Post Station in Xumi, as the delivery location is in the desert, and they will definitely have to travel from here to the desert.
Charlotte was still a little worried before heading to the desert. What if the other side were some vicious bandits? She decided to bring the guards along.
It's not a matter of whether they can win or not, but mainly a matter of law enforcement authority. It's hard to explain how a group of foreigners can arbitrarily arrest Sumeru people. Reporters are quite sensitive about this.
Charlotte, being a journalist, has a strong sense of the law.
The traveler never considered this issue because, given her status, she could be said to have a certain degree of law enforcement authority in various countries.
The law? I'll go to Little Grass God's nursery and whisper sweet nothings in his ear.
Because of 'ignoring the law,' it's reasonable to go to jail in a country governed by law.
In short, since Charlotte has said so, let's call a guard. Who should we call?
At that moment, Seno, the 'Sumeru Champion!' who had just won the game, was passing by.
At this time, Sino had some free time because he was on vacation and had just won the championship.
But isn't it a bit much to send Seno along to catch a thief? You're asked to find a guard, and they end up bringing in the head of the 'secret police'?
Anyway, the Traveler's Face Fruit ability has been activated, so even if it's a minor case, Seno will give her face, so there's nothing wrong with going along with it.
Kira didn't know what the Grand Disciplinary Officer was, so Charlotte explained it to her.
If it were Inazuma, the traveler's current behavior would be roughly the same as asking Kujo Sara to accompany him to catch a thief.
"If you put it that way, I'll understand." Qi Liangliang was extremely surprised. "Traveler, who exactly are you?"
[Kira exclaimed in surprise: "You know such an amazing person?"]
In her previous encounters with travelers, she had managed to avoid important figures; the most important person she met was Hu Tao.
But no matter how you look at it, Hu Tao doesn't seem old at all.
She has a carefree and unserious personality and loves to joke with everyone... or perhaps it's not really a joke, but in any case, it's easy for people to overlook that her identity is actually quite extraordinary.
In Mondstadt, he would at least be a big businessman on the level of Diluc, not only wealthy but also with a certain degree of political influence.
Unfortunately, the characteristic of walnuts is that they are not very big, not big in any aspect, I mainly mean in terms of age.
Charlotte said in a knowing tone, "Ha... Miss Qi Liangliang, this is nothing, I'm used to it after following you all this way..."
He was indeed used to it; unlike Qi Liangliang, she got to know many important people by following the travelers.
The cavalry captain in Mondstadt, the Seven Stars of Ningguang in Liyue, and even Inazuma directly converse with the gods.
Ningguang and Ying are different from Hu Tao; they both look much older in every way, and I'm referring to their age.
Charlotte felt that if things continued like this, the two countries would probably have to talk to the Dragon King, the Consul, and the Heavenly Principles soon.
In short, now that the Grand Disciplinary Officer is coming to help, the task of communicating naturally falls to Paimon the Mouth of God. Paimon the Mouth of God has once again recounted the story of the 'Card Thief,' making it the fifth time already.
After listening, Seno agreed to go along, but Qi Liangliang hoped that everyone would not arrest her client immediately, but at least confirm that the other party was really a criminal before taking action.
Although this client is suspicious, there is no evidence yet to prove that he is the criminal, so he is still her client for now.
Qi Liangliang hopes everyone can hide first. She will be responsible for testing the waters, and if the other party is really a bad guy, it won't be too late to arrest him.
This request is not unreasonable, so everyone naturally respects Qi Liangliang's request. However, there is a question: how can one determine whether the other person is a bad person when they are too far away to hear the conversation?
Charlotte was worried that Kira would be at a disadvantage if they waited for the other party to make the first move.
Actually, Charlotte is worrying too much in this regard. Although Kira is cute and looks like a kitten that can be bullied, she is still the great youkai of Inazuma.
She is different from those little monsters. She is not weak. She is just a little soft-hearted. In terms of combat strength, even a reinforced company of ordinary people might not be able to defeat her.
However, the communication that Charlotte mentioned was indeed a problem. Kira gave a solution, which was to follow her lead.
The illustration's close-up shot focuses on Kira's tails, the tips of which are still white, making them incredibly cute.
[Qi Liangliang said, "If the other party is a normal customer, and the contents of the package aren't bad, I'll keep both tails down. You shouldn't make a move."]
["If the other party really is a 'phantom thief,' then I will..."]
Before Qi Liangliang could finish speaking, Seno suddenly interrupted:
"Get down on the ground."
Charlotte asked in confusion, "Huh? Why?"
Charlotte wasn't the only one puzzled; the readers were too. Yes, why?
Could this be some kind of secret code among the discipline officials of Sumeru? Does it have any special significance?
Only Tinaru secretly cried out in alarm, "It's over! The stereotype of Sumeru!"
[Sino explained: "Didn't you say she was a monster? Implying we're 'monster'."]
Charlotte: "..."
reader:"......"
Tina sighed, knowing it was another lame joke. The stereotype about Sumeru was really hard to shake off; all he ever talked about were his papers and lame jokes.
It's only when people see that even a demon god of Sumeru can tell lame jokes that they'll realize this might not be a stereotype, but a fact.
At this point, readers were more surprised by Sino's lame jokes. Holy crap? They almost forgot that Sino was not only a wind machine but also a refrigeration machine.

Character Voice Line - Seno: About Lame Jokes
"A lame joke? Wasn't what I told a joke?"
"What do you mean this is funny?"
Chapter 742 Arrival at the Trading Location
They were all responsible for arresting people, so why is Seno's personality so different from Yelan's and Kujo's?
This is before we've even written about the other countries. Otherwise, you'll find that, compared to all the other countries, Seno is still the most unconventional, and only Kaia dares to stand out from the crowd.
As for the method mentioned by Sino, it's not impossible, but it's a code that only monsters can use. It wouldn't work if it were someone like Xinoning or Xinyan.
Because they are musicians, when they lie down, it becomes "sound-lying down," losing the meaning of "weirdly lying down."
However, readers found the puns in this joke to be quite subtle and interesting... Oh no, have we been infected by Sino? Why are we starting to find it interesting?
Perhaps because readers have seen so much of it, they've gradually begun to appreciate the humor in Sino's dry humor.
But Qi Liangliang couldn't accept it. Lying on the ground in public was too strange! It would have been fine when she was still a cat, but now she had to maintain her image.
As everyone knows, if she were to turn into a cat now, she would be carrying a burden on her head.
Kira explicitly refused. If she really did that, would she still be able to be a yokai?
I want to keep my job as a deliveryman, but that doesn't mean I want to lose my social identity.
In real life, Qi Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she had refused.
If you agree to it with the mindset that not many people will agree anyway, you're doomed. The prophecy is read by everyone in Teyvat, and that would be a disaster.
Xingqiu was quite happy watching this, unaware that his death was drawing ever closer.
It's not appropriate for Seno to have Kira Ryo do it; she can't let go of her image. It would be better to have Ichito do it; it wouldn't feel out of place at all.
Seeing that Kira was so opposed, Seno offered a second solution:
"Really? Then you can pat your back with your tail."
Charlotte chimed in, "Why...why is that?"
"It's very simple, 'patting the back.' So it's... 'the back of the card.'"
Reader: ...Oh no, this is actually kind of interesting... I'm starting to understand what Abedo's jokes are all about.
Readers find it funny not because Sino's jokes are particularly funny, but because of the way Sino delivers them with an air of aloofness at such inexplicable moments, which is inexplicably funny.
The humor is something that bystanders can appreciate, but the people involved just find it awkward.
We were having a serious discussion when someone suddenly spoke up next to us. After listening carefully, we realized it was a lame joke. How could we not feel awkward?
Although it was a lame joke, Sino was indeed Sino, able to come up with two decent solutions so quickly.
Charlotte, with her high EQ, said, "This is the first time I've met my match in creative writing... Mr. Seno, have you ever considered doing freelance work writing news headlines?"
Have you considered it? If so, I'm calling the police.
Then, after calling the police, it turns out that the person who answered the phone was Sino himself, who then told you a lame joke, which was the ultimate form of torture.
Well, actually Charlotte genuinely invited him because she thought Seno's corny jokes were quite interesting, or at least quite imaginative, and that using that idea for a title might be a good idea.
But as a leading figure in the intellectual school, Falusanne has a bit to say: can't we at least not be evenly matched in this kind of creative writing?
[Kira interrupted their 'mutual appreciation': "Oh dear, if we keep discussing this, the delivery time will be almost here!"]
"Listen to me, if the other party is a 'phantom thief,' I'll make my tail rise and fall. Then you can bring him to justice."
Having two tails definitely has its advantages; it allows for more ways to communicate than a regular cat.
Diona unconsciously started doing the actions as Qi Liangliang had instructed, but since she only had one tail, it ended up getting tangled up.
"Ouch~!" Diona clutched her tail, tears welling in her eyes; she had twisted it.
In fact, the other characters with tails, such as Xinoning, Big Horn Bull, and Linette, also unconsciously made movements.
They are not as active as kittens; their tails only twitch slightly and don't twist.
In short, Kira's method was indeed good, but Seno was still somewhat unwilling to give up:
"Are you really not going to lie down?"
[Kira Ryo loudly protested: "Oh no! No—lie down—!"]
The illustration features a close-up of Qi Liangliang, who is clenching her fist and shouting, and you can see that she is breathing out hot air.
The 'Spinosaurus Mode' that hadn't even been activated when facing Hu Tao was forced out by Seno.
Thankfully, the kitten's hiss wasn't scary; after all, she's so cute.
Moreover, the thought of unconsciously clenching my anus while shouting makes me not only unafraid but also a little amused.
However, since Kira had so firmly refused, Seno's brilliant idea was naturally abandoned.
The group entered the desert in search of a delivery location.
[Qi Liangliang said, "It's next to the first blazing flower you see about a hundred steps from Kawan Post Station along the main road towards the desert." That's the address written on it.]
This address is clearly problematic, because problematic transactions in stories usually happen in such inexplicable places.
You bad guys are really something, always finding a way to meet in weird places.
After arriving at the destination, the recipient had not yet arrived, so the travelers took the opportunity to find a hiding place and observe secretly.
If Nasita were here at this moment, she could read the heart of Qi Liangliang. She is meowing, and it seems that she is also very happy and content because she is about to finish her work.
Lin Qiu wrote down Qi Liangliang's inner thoughts. Although no sound was heard, readers had already imagined a lot just from seeing the word "meow~".
Sometimes the power of imagination can even be greater than the feeling of actually hearing something, because what we imagine is what we want to hear.
Readers also felt their hearts race slightly, partly because they were charmed by Kira's cuteness, and partly because of the excitement that the mystery was about to be revealed.
Are we finally going to find out the truth? We've analyzed all sorts of possibilities, fueled by our experiences with travelers. Let me see if our answer is correct!
Turning the page, the story shifts to Yingmei and the others, who are chatting.
Paimon believed there was definitely something wrong with the recipient, and Seno agreed.
